After the conclusion of the Super Bowl on Feb. 5, the annual debate will begin. The team that wins will be immediately scrutinized and analyzed by a magnitude of media types.
They all will undoubtedly want to know: Is this the next great NFL dynasty?
For weeks comparisons will be made to teams like the Pittsburgh Steelers and Green Bay Packers of the 60's, San Francisco 49er's of the 80's and 90's, and Bill Belichick's New England Patriots.
These days the winners of all major sports championships barely have time to enjoy their victory before they are dissected and compared with the greatest teams of all time.
I am going to buck this trend a bit. I'm not going to wait until after the Super Bowl. I'm going to try and answer that question now.
I wanted to predict the next great NFL dynasties based on their performances during the regular season—and their prospects going forward.
Neither the NFL playoffs nor the Super Bowl have any impact on these predictions.
The dictionary definition for a dynasty is: a powerful group or family that maintains its position for a considerable time.
To bring this into the realm of sports, I will add that a dynasty is able to maintain its power despite an ever changing group of players that make it up. They do so by keeping a core group intact.
New England is a perfect example. The Patriots had an ever changing roster yet still dominate. Why? They have a corps made of Belichick and Tom Brady that keep the dynasty rolling.
There are a handful of teams that have the potential to be the Steelers and 49er's of their respected era.
In my opinion these are the five teams with the best chance.
